Forza Horizon 5: how to complete the autumn Photo Challenge!

Sometimes the Forza Horizon 5 photo challenge can be tricky! Not sure where to go or what car to bring? Earn an emote and some critical playlist points quickly. Here's how!

Forza Horizon photo challenges

The photo challenge was introduced in Forza Horizon 4, reflecting the popularity of Forza photography on Instagram and other platforms. Every day, thousands of screenshots from the Forza games are shared with hashtags such as #forzashots, #forzashare, and #forzaphotography.

We also have a busy channel on our Discord server for sharing screenshots, with regular competitions. You can join here and get involved!

This week's photo challenge location

The location for this photo challenge is straightforward enough. You need to be at La Gran Caldera volcano. You can spot the volcano from almost anywhere on the map, so it's not hard to find!

The volcano in Forza Horizon 5

The volcano is the highest ever altitude on a Forza Horizon map, and it's by far the largest object in Forza Horizon 5. There's a tarmac road on the east side and a dirt road on the west. It's a great spot for driving and also photography!

Which car do we need?

For this photo challenge, we'll need to choose a car from the Modern Rally Car category. This is essentially Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution models or its Subaru WRX STI competitor. Here's all of them you can buy in for Autoshow:

You can use the Filter option in your Change Car menu to ensure you have the right vehicle. Some that you'd expect to be in this category are not, for example the Subaru Impreza 22B. There's a DLC car in this category too, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR Welcome Pack. This is similar to the standard Evo X but with upgrades and tuning applied to bring it up to A800 performance index.

The photo challenge this week earns the Sleepy emote.
